2025 Ford Bronco Sport® in Bristol, TN
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® has been engineered with precision to serve as a versatile sport utility vehicle capable of daily use and challenging conditions. Built on a unibody construction with a five-door, five-passenger layout, it integrates technical refinements across its drivetrain, suspension, technology, and safety systems. Assembled at the Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly Plant in Mexico, the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® comes in standard trims such as Big Bend™, Outer Banks™, Badlands™, Heritage, and Free Wheeling™, with available Sasquatch® Packages for Outer Banks™ and Badlands™ editions.
Engine Architecture and Power Delivery
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® offers two EcoBoost® engine options, each designed for a different balance of efficiency and performance. The 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine is an inline three-cylinder design with an aluminum block and head, composite intake manifold, and integrated exhaust manifold. It employs dual overhead camshafts with twin independent variable cam timing and generates 180 horsepower with 200 lb.-ft. of torque. Its crankshaft is cast iron, while pistons and connecting rods use aluminum and powder-forged construction. With a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and displacement of 1,497 cubic centimeters, this engine prioritizes fuel efficiency with EPA-estimated ratings of 25 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined.
The second option is the 2.0-liter EcoBoost® inline four-cylinder engine, producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque. Featuring an aluminum block and head, forged steel crankshaft, and powder-forged connecting rods, it emphasizes durability for higher outputs. With displacement of 1,995 cubic centimeters, a compression ratio of 10.8:1, and enhanced cooling capacity, this engine is tuned for strong off-road and towing performance. Fuel economy is rated at 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. Both engines employ gasoline turbo direct injection, with the 2.0-liter also offering port fuel injection for improved efficiency. Fuel tank capacity is 15.7 gallons across all models.
Disclaimer: EPA-estimated city/hwy mpg for the model indicated. See fueleconomy.gov for fuel economy of other engine/transmission combinations. Actual mileage will vary. On plug-in hybrid models and electric models, fuel economy is stated in MPGe. MPGe is the EPA equivalent measure of gasoline fuel efficiency for electric mode operation.
Transmission and Drivetrain Engineering
All 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. In configurations with the SelectShift® feature, drivers can use standard paddle shifters and manual shifting mode. Gear ratios are consistent across both engines, with a first gear of 4.69 and a final drive ratio of 3.81, while reverse gear measures -2.96.
The drivetrain includes a standard 4×4 system. For 1.5-liter engines, the system uses an air-cooled power transfer unit, disconnectable driveshaft, and a single-clutch rear drive unit. For 2.0-liter engines, enhancements include a water-cooled power transfer unit and a dual-clutch rear drive unit with electronic differential lock capability.
Terrain Management and Off-Road Systems
The Terrain Management System™, branded as G.O.A.T. Modes®, allows drivers to select different operating modes. With the 1.5-liter engine, available modes include Normal, ECO, Sport, Slippery, and Off-Road. With the 2.0-liter engine, additional Rally and Rock Crawl modes are included, further broadening capability in demanding environments. The crawl ratio across all configurations is 18:1, ensuring controlled operation in low-speed conditions. Trail Control™ with Trail 1-Pedal Drive is available on Outer Banks™ with Sasquatch® Package and standard on Badlands™ trims, offering steady throttle and braking management during challenging off-road use.
Suspension and Steering Components
The front suspension uses independent MacPherson® struts with coil springs, stabilizer bar, and twin-tube hydraulic gas-pressurized dampers. Aluminum lower control arms and cast knuckles combine strength and weight efficiency. The rear suspension consists of independent double lateral link semi-trailing arms with coil springs and monotube hydraulic dampers mounted on an isolated steel subframe. Badlands™ Sasquatch® editions incorporate Bilstein® position-sensitive dampers to extend wheel travel and improve articulation.
Steering is managed by electric power-assisted steering, tuned to align with selected drive modes. Minimum running ground clearance varies by trim, measuring between 7.8 and 8.7 inches, while approach and departure angles reach up to 31.2 degrees and 27.9 degrees respectively, enhancing maneuverability over uneven terrain.
Braking System
The braking system is designed for balanced stopping power and durability. At the front, all models use 308 mm by 27 mm vented rotors with single-piston calipers and ABS. The 2.0-liter variants add slightly thicker plates for improved heat dissipation. Rear brakes measure 302 mm by 11 mm and incorporate single-piston calipers with ABS and electric park brake functionality. An electric brake booster supports consistent braking response across varied driving conditions.
Wheels, Tires, and Exterior Dimensions
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® is available with 17-inch or 18-inch wheels, paired with Continental or Goodyear tires depending on trim. Options include all-season and all-terrain tread patterns. A mobility kit is standard on some models, while others include a full-size spare tire for extended off-road reliability.
Dimensions are consistent across trims, with a wheelbase of 105.1 inches, vehicle length ranging from 173.1 to 175.1 inches, and maximum height between 70.4 and 72.1 inches. Vehicle width measures 74.3 inches, expanding to 82.2 inches with mirrors extended. Ground clearance supports clearance over obstacles, while ramp breakover angles range up to 21.7 degrees depending on package.
Passenger and Cargo Measurements
The interior accommodates five passengers with front headroom up to 41.5 inches and rear legroom of 36.9 inches. Shoulder room measures 57.3 inches in the front and 55.6 inches in the rear, while hip room measures 55.2 inches and 53.4 inches respectively. Cargo space varies with trim and seat configuration, providing between 29.1 and 32.5 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 65.2 cubic feet behind the first row. Maximum cargo length with seats folded reaches 65 inches.
Functional storage solutions include MOLLE straps on first-row seatbacks, zipper or pouch-style seatback storage, under-seat compartments in some trims, and rubberized cargo flooring. Convenience features such as a flip-glass liftgate, roof rails with available crossbars, and integrated cargo tie-downs are standard or available depending on trim level.
Technology and Connectivity Systems
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® integrates Ford’s SYNC® 4 system on a 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen with voice-activated navigation and SiriusXM® Traffic and Travel Link®. A fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster displays customizable driving information, including off-road data.
Standard audio includes six speakers, with an available B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® that incorporates ten speakers and a subwoofer. Connectivity is supported by multiple USB-A and USB-C ports in both rows, 12V outlets in the media bin, console, and cargo area, and optional 110V/400W outlets in the second row and cargo area. Wireless charging pads are included in most trims for added convenience.
